I think I'm addicted to vibe coding.
- I think I'm addicted to vibe coding.[co]
- I do it literally every waking minute, to some degree.
- It's so productive that when I'm not doing it, I feel like I'm missing out.
- Also, it has the "just five more minutes, I'll give the perfect prompt that gets the result I want, then I'll stop," that never ends.
- I keep on producing things I'm proud to show off to others.
- The most addictive things are really good at making you retcon, "actually, this is good for me!"
- But being addicted to vibe coding feels unlike other addictions.
- For example, I never got addicted to social media.
- I'd also never proudly recommend my friends play Candy Crush, but I would proudly recommend my friends vibecode.
- It seems like the kinds of people who might get addicted to vibecoding are very different from the people who might get addicted to social media.[cp]
- Social media was addictive to people who default to consuming, whereas vibecoding is addictive to a certain subset of people who like creating.
